She has a rich history of tutorage under some of Americas most renowned artists including Robert Brackman  of the Art Students League and Henry Hensche of the Cape School. The influence of these American impressionist artists has led her to focus on the light effect that encompasses the image. “We are all under the same sun and moon, day or night. It is always changing, interesting, and universal. It unites us over time and place. It is the beauty and visual interest of my time and place that I seek to reveal.”

Her approach is the marriage of the personal and expressive power of drawing to the sensuality of paint. Subject matter includes Cityscape, Landscape, Figure, Portrait, and Still life.
